  2. One thing you can count on every year at the AV Fair besides the heat, and that’s Marv and the good old boys gathered in their private taxpayer funded VIP tent eating free food and drinking free booze while the rest of us pay out the nose. It pays to be a good old boy in Lancaster.

  3. Saw them in Vegas about 10 years ago, really good show with great music.
